Ephesians 6:14 ESV

Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

Truth is our belt, the equipment to keep our armor stay in place. Without the belt, the armor will become loosy and easy to fall apart. With it, every pieces stay firm regardless of twist and turn. Without truth, our spiritual armor is just fake. It will fall apart when attacks come. With truth, it remains steady and in place even when the evils blow and twist.

Righteousness is our breastplate, the equipment close to our body to keep us from harm. Without the breastplate, any attack that we fail to block (e.g. with shield) will be fatal. With it, although we may not see the evil attack coming and fail to block, we remain unharmed for our righteousness protects us.
